Laptop for Work and gaming

[cravejosh]

Hello everyone!

Work is allowing me to purchase a laptop. I don't really have a limit but around 1200$ should be max. I would like something that can handle some gaming. I can't just purchase an alien ware. Anyone know of any good deals that are great for gaming but not so obviousness.

Thanks!

Dell outlet has a XPS 15 - L521X with an i7, 16gb memory, GT 640M with 2GB GDDR5, and a 1080 display for just under $1300. I can't link you there, but go to http://www.delloutlet.com => laptops section, then use the filters on the left side to only see those with a discrete GPU.

There is also Cyberpower => http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/category/notebook/

Well I gave it a shot and got approved to order this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/MSI---15.6%26%2334%3B-Laptop---8GB-Memory---750GB-Hard-Drive---Black/6928053.p?id=1218814314301&skuId=6928053#tab=overview

If tom's says its good... It must be good =)

Eh... The MSI would have slightly better graphics, but the CPU power is way down compared to the Intel laptops posted earlier. I am sure you will be happy with it, but consider canceling that purchase (if possible) and looking toward Intel. For that price, I would seriously look at that Dell..

I wouldn't either but at the same time I wouldn't take that APU model they reviewed yesterday.
